British-Egyptians call on UK government to ban Muslim BrotherhoodDelegation of prominent British-Egyptians deliver petition to 10 Downing Street calling for a ban on the Muslim Brotherhood

The UK government must proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood immediately and ban its activities on British soil, a delegation of British-Egyptians has said.

They say the Brotherhood, which was declared a terrorist group in Egypt in December 2013, has "committed crimes against humanity."

The delegation, which included Muslim and Christian professionals, businessmen and representatives from civil society organisations, delivered a petition to the UK government calling for action "before girls are killed in British schools."
